On the weekend my partner and I were having friends over for dinner. We have been gluten-free and primally oriented for a fair while now so it seemed only right that we continue this on even in the unprecedented context of forcing others to eat that way!

And we pulled it off!

However, there are many reasons TO EAT IT. […]

I’ve been thinking. I saw a brilliant t-shirt on my twitter travels saying “Butter was framed” and I laughed. Mmmm – butter. And then I was having a chat with sweatlikeapig about sugar content in ‘healthy’ snack bars and how often fat is the deciding factor in eating these bars, not the massive sugar and […]

I’m not super massively into supplements. I will take 24g whey protein after a workout, and I take a general multivitamin daily. But I prefer to get my nutrients from all the delicious wholefoods I eat every day. Let’s face it, I’d rather munch down on delicious food than just pop a few pills. But […]
